We invite you to submit your "Pedigree" for this Surname. Our Surname Project is primarily interested in your Paternal line, as surnames are passed down from father to son, just as the yDNA is passed down.

Please include the following: (If you have more information you would like to share, you may also post a more extended version of your family pedigree on the project website’s Pedigree Forum below)• Name of project• Kit Number• Name of person posting pedigree• Email address to be posted with pedigree• Name, birthdate, birthplace, spouse of Earliest Known Ancestor• List each succeeding generation, using only those four items of information (or substitute another item of information if missing an item)

My name is Teresa Shockley. I am the daughter of Cager Shokley and Kay ChildsKay Childs was the daughter of Roland Hugo Childs and Violet Roberts.I am trying to do a search on both parents at this time. I have quit a bit of info on both of them, however I have ran into a snag on both sides.i would appreciate any help I can get.

Hi, Teresa. If you will post as much of your family tree as you know, I will put it on the Patriarch page. If you have a male relative with the Childs name, you might want to join the DNA project. Good luck with your research.Marilyn
